Halfway Between 5 and 7

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 7?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=5 and Y=7.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 7, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 7 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 7)/2 = 6

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 7 is 6.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 6 and subtract 6 from 7 and compare the two numbers:

6 - 5 = 1
7 - 6 = 1

As you can see, the halfway number is 1 higher than 5 and 1 lower than 7. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 6 above is correct.
